MTK 8163 processor. I got a 16GB with ads for $60 black friday. I'm satisfied with everything but the charging time considering the price. I can watch about 6 movies on the tablet on a single charge but mine needs to charge overnight. It's very easy to put google services and playstore on these and there are people on youtube who post links to sites where you can download everything you need. But I have not done so because there could be some form of spyware in those google downloads, I mean more spyware than google itself. Lol﻿

Picked one from the Black Friday sales for $59.99. I did two firmware updates after I got it. Alexa was installed. Still playing around with that feature but it does work. Also if you have any Amazon books and you don't want to pay for the Audible narration you can use the built text to audio. It is not as good as audible but does a decent job of reading books. Also if you are prime customer and it will download a couple of prime movies called On Deck automatically. It does not affect your storage as it removes them automatically to keep space however you can still keep them on your sd card so they don't get automatically deleted. Great feature if you install a micro sd card if the app allows it, it will automatically download to your micro sd card. Same thing with your Amazon Books and Amazon prime and purchased movies.﻿

Coming from a fire🔥7 tablet which I purchased last year I can say that this Amazon fire hd8 is head and shoulders above the fire 7 from last year. Firstly it's a better size for most tasks without being unwieldy to hold of transport and come in at a sweet spot between a 7" or 10" screen. Next comes the fact that this has a hd screen which again is something that was lacking from the fire 7 . The touch response was an area where the fire 7 was a bit of a letdown for me as it was just a bit too unresponsive at times and made typing a bit of a choir. Happily this has been rectified with the fire Hd8 and is as responsive as youd like. Battery life has had a massive improvement over it's smaller cousin too now up to around 5 hours extra in comparison making it around 12 hours before you need to connect it to a charger. Speed of operation is drastically improved thanks in part to more ram and a better processor along with Dolby stereo speakers instead of a mono speaker. Double the storage now comes standard 16th instead of 8gb and it's got a sleep wake function (when inserted in a compatable case) which was missing from the fire 7 too. I'm sure there are other improvements to this tablet that I haven't mentioned but suffice to say it's a massively improved device and at only £39 more than the fire 7 it is a no brainer if you want value for your money and a tablet that makes you glad you bought it. Ps Alexa is coming to all fire tablets in the coming weeks (free update) so they have a bright future that's for sure. Recommended.﻿
